Yours truly has graciously been invited by MissSLY herself (No Big Deal!!) to be a part of the fashion debate that has taken Twitter by storm since it first began, Fashion [Unfold] .

Catch it live tomorrow at 1PM EST by Following @MissSLY & @FashionUnfold !

I am so excited to actually get to be in the debate!  :)

Ottawa’s own Herieth Paul is in the TOP 10 for ObsessionPhoto’s Black Muse contest!

ObsessionPhoto is the world’s largest social media platform for A-List photographers.

Their website holds the contest description as

a tool that help you to find and choose the future muse of your campaign, editorials, etc. But it wants to be too, a tribute and the memory of a certain black beauty. Black Muses list across the world, the most beautiful black and metis women. Looking through Black Muses, you could follow in real time, the attractiveness of each muses you’re looking for (the more a model will have a high number of votes, the more you could deduce that she could seduce your audience).

This is such a great opportunity for Herieth and all of the other models she is crushing in competition  competing against!

Side Note: Herieth is ahead of Jessica White, Chanel Iman, Selita Ebanks, Jourdan Dunn, to name a few.

Side side Note: Are you also scratching your head as to why they neglected to put up her famous ELLE Canada cover??

Let’s help Ottawa’s most famous model get to #1. Vote vote VOTE!!!

THANN carries only the best of the best in hair and skin care, and they are giving you the chance to win a YEAR SUPPLY of Shiso Body Butter!

For details o how you can win this highly coveted prize, head over to Twenty York Street. Run and sign up while you can!

Thann always knows how to show Ottawa a good time, and their first ever EPIC CHRISTMAS PARTY was a huge hit! So many interesting people were in attendance that I got the lovely pleasure of meeting. Miss 20 York Street planned the huge soiree and looked dazzling while entertaining the crowd for the night. She is one great hostess, that’s for sure!

There were a lot of newcomers  to the fashion scene, which was very refreshing, as it’s always great to have fresh blood more people to network with.

On my arm you can see the Danyka Collection bracelet I won at the Thann Trivia game! It is so gorgeous, and the perfect statement piece for many of my outfits. A closer look coming soon

With winter being kind of here, but not really, it’s the last week to sneak in a few maxi dresses without looking crazy. The cut-out dress started gaining popularity after my prom dress- I mean after my prom Beyonce, Jessica Alba, Heidi Klum, and more started wearing cut-out dresses. Coincidence? I think not.

This is a fun look you can put together that’ll keep you warm, except for your right hip, but that’s just a minor detail.

The full sleeves of the maxi makes it winter appropriate, and it’s from ASOS for only $101!

The chunky heels are from Forever 21′s S/S 2011 collection, which retailed for $34, and the Leigh Austin Infinity scarf is 100% wool, and variations of it can  be found at stores like Ardene, where they are 2 for $15.

The entire outfit costs only $150! That’s amazing for a look that will have people thinking you spent well over that on the dress alone.

Sisters Beyonce & Solange both made Vogue’s Best Dressed list this year! It’s very exciting for Solange because this is the first time her style hasn’t gone over looked. Solange’s style is so fearless, bold, fun, and funky all at the same time and in honour of her killer style, I’ve posted a gallery some of her best looks yet:

There’s an eco-friendly jewelry line in the 613 called Nia Kaia.  When the line’s designer, Leah Clement, decided to turn her passion for designing jewelry into a business, she knew she faced a tough market. “It seemed like everyone was making jewelry, especially here in Ottawa. I knew I had to find a way to set my work apart.”

Nia Kaia began as a way for Leah to feel good about her business, and to help give the immigrant women she met while teaching arts and crafts courses for clients of Immigrant Women Services of Ottawa, a way to create the lives they came to Canada to live. “It was a feel good thing to me. It felt good to my soul.”

Nia Kaia’s full line will be launching on Wednesday, December 14, 2011 from 7:00-9:00pm, and all are welcome. The launch event will be held at  THANN Boutique (829 Bank Street), in partnership with Adorit Boutique. Select pieces are currently available at Adorit Boutique (153 York Street), and will be available soon at Boutique Burro Borracho in Wakefield, Quebec (721 Riverside Drive).

613style is very excited and happy to have been asked to be the official live tweeter for the launch! You’ll be able to get live updates on our  Twitter, as well as Nia Kaia and Splendid Events‘s Twiters as well!
